Burlington, VT, February 24, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The Vermont Section 0012 of the American Society for Quality (ASQ) has earned the 2006-07 Section Management Process Total Quality Award, one of the highest honors a section can earn in the Society. 90 of 255 ASQ sections earned this award for the 2006-07 year.
The Vermont Section 0012 will be honored at ASQ’s 62nd annual conference; the World Conference on Quality and Improvement on May 3, 2008 in Houston, Tx. Members of the ASQ Board of Directors will present the award to the section.
The Section Management Process (SMP) Total Quality Award is awarded to sections that have proven their commitment and ability to serving local ASQ members and the community. SMP is a management model and planning tool that assists sections in their planning and implementation of programs and services that will meet the needs of current and future ASQ members.

Second, the section must develop an annual business plan with objectives and goals. Finally, a section must meet 75% of the goals set forth in their business plan.
